Thanks Lars,
For the hint to the svn versions. Things seem to work there. What
really surprised me is that dmd compiles
f.seek(1024 * 1024 * 1024 * 6, SEEK_SET);
but fails with
std.exception.errnoexcept...@std/stdio.d(538): Could not seek in file
`test.txt' (Invalid argument)
whereas
f.seek(1024 * 1024 * 1024 * 6L, SEEK_SET);
works fine.
I did not realize that 1024 * 1024 * 1024 * 6 turns negative and then
gets converted to a negative long (without even a warning). Overseeing
that had killed my own efforts to hack 64-bit support into phobos ;-)
Thanks again,
(another ;-)) Lars
Hmmm... the compiler could and should warn about integer overflow in
computed constant. I suggest you file this as an improvement in bugzilla.
Glad to hear large files are working for you.
